Officiating in the UL game

I do find it funny that people are pissed about Pitino trying to do what he could to help his team win.

The refs sucked. The coaches both did their jobs. Russ smith should have received a technical for embarrassing the game of basketball with his fouling/flopping strategy on the press.

Rick was pissed at Russ. He said Russ lied to him saying SK hit him in the face and thats what knocked him down and they ended up waisting a timeout on it to get it checked.

I'm not pissed at Pitino. I was pissed at the refs.

Not to mention He hung on the rim twice. The T didn't get called till after Pitino spoke to the refs. Even worse to me was the review of SK and the so called "elbow" to Russ Smith two plays after the fact. Again, it took place after Pitino spoke to the refs.

I was okay with that, it forced UL to take a timeout.

Yeah, not you. But look around. Lots of people are. But if he was our coach people would love what he does.

The best was when Doris Burke said "if this were the NBA Russ Smith would be expecting about a $50,000 fine for this flopping"

The refs were pretty terrible in some cases but overall I didn't mind them too much. The technical on Rubles was a joke. That ref starting staring down Rubles and decided he was going to T him up 15 seconds before he did.

I did however like the fact that the refs let them play for the most part under the hoop. It was a physical game and I didn't feel like there were a lot of ticky tack fouls being called.

Was at the game last night but the whole Rubles situation had me completely lost, I thought they had called a technical on Justin Jackson? Anyways the fact that Montrezl Harrell never got a technical for hanging on the rim or smacking the ball out of Rubles hands is absolutely ridiculous. Anyways with all the one sided calls we still came out on top, proud of this team for fighting through adversity!

I wondered about that too. It's too easy to determine a flop on a review. I think he was made at him for fouling SK as well putting a clutch FT shooter at the line.

Maybe Harrell and Pitino will be particular targets of interest for the crowd when L'ville comes to 5/3. Last time they were all over behanan.
